Our beautiful Barney Pookah resting on the rug during his daily
indoors run with us … every day we carefully cover all gaps behind the couch,
and all electrical wires, with rugs and cushions, and he races back and forth,
jumps in the air with joy, and then rests on his tummy, sometimes right
against our feet if we’re lucky … happy, or what!

Pookie loves his burrow, and stretches out and rests and relaxes …
cosy, or what!

We named him for the James Stewart movie, “Harvey”, where Jimmy Stewart
has a rabbit friend named Harvey … at one point he says that Harvey is a
“pookah”, a mischievous Irish fairy spirit in animal form … this is where
we got the name Pookah, Pookie for short. And Barney Pookah truly is a
pookah, such a little character, definitely a mischievous fairy spirit in
animal form!

Precious Pookie giving me affection … and if you look, you can see
our beautiful little canary, Squeaky, too … she’s nine years old this year,
and she’s also SO affectionate … she gazes into our eyes and sings to us.

Pookie enjoys receiving affection too, and rests his little chin on
the ground, completely relaxes his whole little body, while enjoying a grooming!

Having a cuddle in the garden.

Sitting on the couch together … he gets so relaxed.

Pookie gets so relaxed, that he’ll groom right next to me.

And here, isn't this absolutely beautiful? This gorgeous card, or "digi-scrap" as known in France, was created
for Pookie and us by our very good friend, Gavotte - thank you so very much, Gavotte, for
your wonderful presents - merci beaucoup, Gavotte, j'adore tes super cadeaus, et ta belle amitie! You can see more of
Gavotte's creations on her great website too, at http://tygavotte.fr.

Our Darling Dasher … isn’t this a perfect photograph of him … you can see how gorgeous he is.

We had our beautiful Dashie from 1994 to 2000.

Affection from Dashie … he always loved and adored cuddles.

Dashie … happy in his burrow, too.

He loved to play in the curtain and peep out from behind it!

What a beautiful, bright little friendly face!

Dashie was also SO affectionate, liked to kiss and groom us, as well as receiving affection.

You might recognise this photo from other pages of my web site,
including my home/splash page … this is the original photo, with Dashie
looking just angelic!

Our first Netherland Dwarf bunny, Sweetnin, had a whole room to herself
… since we weren’t always there with her, she unfortunately didn’t see us as part
of her “warren” the way that Dashie and Barney do.

We had our Sweetnin from 1990 to 1994.

Sweetnin was happy also, and did relax and groom around us too.

Okay … who’s the cutest?! Can you find the real, living toy, in
amongst these poor imitations?

Sweetnin - what a bright, pretty face!

Sweetnin in our previous back garden in St Kilda ... she loved relaxing, in the sun, or on the fresh grass in the shade.
